While it is a nice sentiment, Jay Leno didn't pen it.

unemployment figures are based on claims,not those who had their claims run out,and are still un employed,like engineers,computers programmers,etc..

it's a lot worse than 5%.

Does it really matter who wrote it or if the %'s are dead on?

The problem with what he saying is he is looking at it thru his world, now a days most politicians are greed driven. If you have a failing company you step back and make cuts even if it effects you theese politicians will not they just want to keep taxing us instead of fixing it. I think every body appreciates where we have been the problem is middle America sees where we are going. Jay Leno has no idea in his perfect world.

I'm due for another car, I have an 04 and 02 Chevy but they were made where, in Mexico or CANADA? What is an American car made in America with American parts?

And as far as Wallyworld, it's not close to me but when I did go to one years ago didn't they have "American Made" signs on most of the products? Is it the same crap as the other box stores? Is anything made in America anymore? The mom and pop where I shop sells the same chineese crap!

and another thing , That "Jay Leno" letter is three years old and the Big Chinned Car Guy only gets credit for the last sentence!

I have to agree. My Dodge pickup was built in Mexico and my wife's Honda was built in North Carolina. Which is "more American" .

At least Honda is providing good jobs for Americans.

But where are the professional jobs, i.e. designers, engineers, most management, etc. at Honda located and where do the profits go from the plants here?
